#2 So, is he 88 or 87? The article contradicts itself in the middle. Does the writer work for the BBC?

But he often scoffs at reports about his death joking that he has resurrected more times than Jesus Christ.
That would be twice, then. DURR DURR

#3 He was a liability 20 years ago. Should have kept a date with a Dragunov sniper rifle.

#4 Mugabe, Mandela, Zuma, The Red Arch [Tutu] are but symptoms. When they are gone, they will simply be replaced by others like them. We should no more attempt to 'jump start' these people into the 21st century than we would the Yanomami tribespeople of South America.

#5 Boeserker - you have a good point that even in people like Mugabe are no longer in power ... the next guy might be 10 times worse. That's a tough thing about the world. Was the inaction worth it? Think of all the people who were beaten, tortured, and killed - or thrown into hell holes by this guy. It's always a tough call, isn't it :-)
